Augrented Insights Report for 421 Marcus Garvey Blvd

421 Marcus Garvey Blvd is a 4-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1873 and currently owned by Josh Seda. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues between 2021 and 2022, with multiple tenant complaints, though some of these complaints were closed due to lack of access for inspection. More recent maintenance concerns emerged in late 2024, with multiple housing maintenance code complaints filed in October 2024, including issues with doors, windows, ceilings, and pest sanitation, most of which were closed within a few days.

The building has active violations for failure to file 2022 and 2023 external low-pressure inspections, dating back to 2023-2024. The property has a documented history of various maintenance issues, including electrical problems in 2019 with defective electrical outlets and fixtures in multiple apartments, which resulted in fines totaling $4,450. Previous violations from 2021 to 2022 included heating system access issues and self-closing door problems.

While the building has passed recent rodent inspections in 2025 and 2024, there was one failed inspection in June 2024. The building has maintained a clean bedbug record according to annual reports from 2019 through 2024, showing no reported infestations. The Department of Buildings records show some historical concerns regarding electrical systems and safety equipment, with multiple violations related to unapproved electrical equipment and inadequate housekeeping noted in 2019.
